          Exactly. I’m glad you can agree on this point with a very obviously not sarcastic comment, as Mussolini wasn’t in fact, a Nazi, but just allied with the Nazis, had a very similar idiology that the Nazis took ideas from, and was also a fascist dictator.

            Mussolini was also hung by piano wire in the streets.

            But he was in fact antisemetic. Yes, I know it was the rage back then.

              And in fact, fascism and anti-semitism are NOT the same thing. Ask a million Bolsheviks.

              Although some say he personally wasn’t but he sent Jews to die anyway because he really really wanted to be friends with the Nazis.

          I mean, America probably would have ended up allying with the Nazis if it wasn’t for the attack on Pearl Harbor. There was a lot of public sympathy for them here, including protests against joining the allies, and we even had a Nazi party before the war. We also turned away Jewish refugees during the war.

              As fucked as it was and they just said, “no home for you now on your way out.” They did do better than our first Cherokee concentration camp prisoners… which is where Hitler got the idea (our was it Goebbels?)

    Found a 2 year old interview with her on Youtube, and the comments are filled with fascist-sympathizers who are desperately trying to claim that what Space Karen did wasn’t what it obviously was, a nazi salute. Anyone with eyes could see that.

    CBS is weaksauce, I hope Sam Kuffel finds a new, better job soon!

      To add, I’ll just remind folks that the former CBS CEO was caught on audio saying after Trump won in 2016, “Trump may not be good for America, but he’s good for CBS! Keep going, Donald!”

      They all feel this way.

      If I were to go around saluting like Elon in public, it would go very badly for me.
